Sophisticated Shade

Don't want no nickels, don't want no dimes

What I need is five G's to make that

Panama mine

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe

I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made

Five thousand dollars worth of

Sophisticated shade

Don't want no yacht, no French chateau

All I want is to look in the mirror

An' see that fine chapeau

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe

I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made

Five thousand dollars worth of

Sophisticated shade

Got to have that hat, don't care what it costs

Folks see me struttin' 'roun' town

Say, here come the boss!

So, when you hear me sing this song I wrote

Stop an' tap your feet

Throw down some foldin' dough,

While I repeat

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe

I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made

Five thousand dollars worth of

Sophisticated shade

The proprietor wore a hat of his own

A gentleman by the name of Van Dyke Jones

Said, all you need is five G's to take that

Sky piece home

A genius with his hands an' a pile o' straw

Made the finest hat that I ever did saw

Five thousand dollars worth of

Sophisticated shade

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe

I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made

Five thousand dollars worth of

Sophisticated shade
